Requirement and dependencies

  • Install Anaconda/Miniconda.
  • Install all dependencies listed in environment.yml file, or run the following to install via conda:
conda env create -f environment.yml
  • If you want to run Lasso Benchmark, install the LassoBench library by:
cd test_functions/
pip install -e .

Getting started

The main file is test-main.py. To run the code for any problem, use the following syntax:

python test-main.py --solver <optimizer_name> -f <function_name> -d <input_dim> -n <number_of_iterations> --seed <seeding>

Available options for arguments:

  • optimizer_name: bo, turbo, baxus
  • function_name: alpine, levy, ellipsoid, rastrigin, shifted-alpine, shifted-levy, ellipsoid, rastrigin, branin500, schaffer100, lasso-dna, rover100, half-cheetah
  • input_dim: an integer (only applicable for alpine, levy, ellipsoid, rastrigin, shifted-alpine, shifted-levy)
  • number_of_iterations: an integer to describe to iteration budget.
  • seeding: (optional) the random seed for random behavior of random, numpy, and torch.
